President Trump is proposing a $12 billion farm aid package, a White House official says, as the sector grapples with China tariffs.

This post replaces an earlier one that incorrectly attributed the connection to tariffs to the official.

VT closed today so you know the weather is going to suck.

We are right on the border of 1"-3" or 4"-6".

Of course I work from home so no day off for me.

"With no incident command set up, additional rescuers... continue to rely on others in the field for direction."

This was noted 4 hours after the warning.

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

She failed the assignment because she didn't answer the question.

If the professor had asked "Was Jesus a prophet or the son of God" and someone failed because they said "This is a ridiculous question because Jesus didn't exist & here is why" this wouldn't be an issue.

What is not said in the article is that undocumented workers can't get SNAP.

The past couple of days have been rough in Blacksburg.

On Monday evening, 20+ people lost their home and possessions in an apartments fire (fortunately only a couple of minor injuries). Followed last night by another fire in the same building. After the Monday fire was another home fire.
